Definitions

• the present invention relates to deodorizing granules for ashtrays.
• a deodorant system significantly reducing the unpleasant perception of the smell of tobacco and in particular that of cold tobacco.
• the object of the product according to the present invention is to remedy this state of affairs. It makes it possible, at a very reasonable price, to completely neutralize the odors of tobacco from the ashtray, while delicately perfuming the atmosphere and this without distorting the pleasure of the smoker, thus bringing the maximum olfactory comfort.
• the ashtray deodorant is formed from an active compound comprising a perfume of body or aromatic quality, a low-volatile solvent and a deodorant based on undecylenic acid, said compound being integrated into granules consisting of an incombustible mineral support of a granularity determined so as not to leave any trace of dust during use, and of a porosity making it possible to accommodate a large quantity of active product, and to release it in contact with the lit cigarette.
• the product which is the subject of the invention is in the form of granules combining a support with a high melting point and a well-defined particle size, a high-quality perfume, a solvent of high viscosity with low evaporation, and a deodorant principle.
• the support is a determining factor for the effectiveness of the ease of use of the product. It must have the highest possible melting point, pumice or lava stone which has a melting point of 1500 ° C is perfect in this regard. Its particle size must be perfectly defined: too fine, it will produce dust not desired by the user, or will not correctly accommodate large proportions of active ingredient; too large it will not perform its function well. A good size of the granules is 2 to 3 mm in their smallest dimension, and 5 to 8 mm in the largest. Advantageously, slightly polished granules in pebbles will be used. This product is common in the industry where there are many applications as an abrasive, its cost is very low.
• the perfume used is of the type used for body perfumery, in accordance with the prescriptions recognized by the perfumery professionals, and in particular with the French standard of IFRA and with the recommendations of the American office RIFM.
• This type of perfume must be sufficiently volatile for the olfactory comfort of ambient perfume to be comparable in all respects to that of body perfume. It will advantageously contain citrus (lemon, in particular) which have always demonstrated their deodorant function.
• the solvent will preferably be monopropylene glycol, but may also consist of polypropylene glycol or a compound having similar characteristics.
• Propylene glycol is widely recognized as one of the best quality perfume carriers, capable by its viscosity of agglomerating any traces of dust, and by its low evaporation to regulate the output of the perfume incorporated in a porous carrier. It is a solvent with a fairly high melting point which gives reduced flammability to aromatic materials by lowering the flash point of the active product enough to cause the self-extinction of small flames which could form in the case, for example presence of ignited matches in the ashtray.
• the deodorant principle used is undecylenic acid (known as "eyelash”), obtained from castor oil, and which has demonstrated its effectiveness when the dosage is perfectly controlled.
• perfume and solvent will be advantageously combined in proportions of between 20/80 and 50/50, and for the deodorant principle, the most convincing results have been obtained by incorporating substantially 3% of ethyl undecylenate , This active product will then return for 15 to 20% by weight in the mineral support selected for this application.
• the granules can be colored without difficulty by incorporating dyes approved in perfumeries directly into the active product, at the rate of approximately 3% of solution containing 2 to 4% of dye in water or monopropylene glycol.
• dyes approved in perfumeries directly into the active product at the rate of approximately 3% of solution containing 2 to 4% of dye in water or monopropylene glycol.
• a small amount of green grains in a product of a different color may symbolize the presence of a deodorant of natural origin.
• the ashtray granules thus produced by assembling an active product consisting of perfume, monopropylene glycol, ethyl undecylenate and dye incorporated into pumice granules, bring maximum efficiency and results unknown day, appreciated by both the smoker and the non-smoker.
• the diffusion can be adjusted by opening the ashtray more or less.
• the smoker has a product that does not alter his pleasure.
• the volatile nature of specially formulated perfumes means that they are evaporated from the start of contact with the incandescent end of the cigarette or cigar. There is therefore no untimely scent of the tobacco aroma, its pleasure is intact.
• An appropriate dosage of undecylenic acid makes the deodorant effect almost total, which can be seen as well by smelling the smoke evaporated from the ashtray which does not present any unpleasant smell of tobacco, only by smelling the ashtray emptied after use, where one hardly feels any residual odor, nor then the odor so unpleasant of cold tobacco.
• the fragrance effect is immediate, and comes at the right time.
• the granules at rest in the ashtray act relatively weakly, but upon contact with the incandescent end of the cigarette, the granules see their scent quickly evaporated and carried away by the smoke in the atmosphere with undecylenic acid. There is no longer any birth of bad smells of tobacco from the ashtray.
